It doesn't matter whether I agree with his policies or not.
Knight is former LAPD. He seems to have forgotten that he can't threaten people just for confronting him.
There's no way I'd ever vote for him. As I posted above, he is likely toast, and the Republicans had better find a replacement for him -- or the voters will.
So he was instinctively responding to his constituent with his years of training and experience. In that regard I'm surprised former officer King didn't curbstomp his critic and then accuse him of assault.
